The Kazoo Area Foot Chase team is honored to have received permission from the Bonneau family to dedicate this year's event to Jackson (Michigan) police officer James Bonneau for his service and sacrifice. Earlier this year Officer Bonneau responded to a residence in his community to assist a neighboring agency on an investigation of a domestic violence complaint. Upon contact with the suspect, a struggle ensued and the suspect produced a firearm and shot both officers. Officers returned fire and stopped the suspect but not before Officer Bonneau sustained a lethal wound and his colleague officer was seriously injured. Thank God that the colleague officer survived, but in turn he has suffered a tremendous personal loss on many levels himself. Meanwhile, Officer Bonneau's loss was not only felt by his family and department, but throughout his community and the entire state. So now it is in recognition of Officer Bonneau's heroic service and great personal sacrifice that we dedicate the 2010 Kazoo Area Foot Chase in his honor.
